A Nestlé milk production plant in southeastern Brazil challenged its suppliers to develop improvement projects that would deliver energy savings and reduce water consumption and CO2 emissions. In particular, the plant was looking for an economically viable way to reuse the condensate organic water (COW) stream generated by the production of powdered milk.

In milk processing plants, a large volume of water is generated when the milk is evaporated or concentrated up using either multi-effect evaporator or process reverse osmosis. Since the source of this water is from the milk, it is commonly called cow water. Within milk processing plants, this cow water can be recycled or reused thereby reducing the demand for fresh water.

As demands for better water stewardship increase throughout the world, so will the needs for managing this precious resource in industrial operations. This includes having a better understanding of all the uses of water throughout a dairy processing plant and conserving water when appropriate; finding innovative ways to treat single or combined wastewater streams; as well as recycling of water to improve water and energy efficiency.
